ZigBee or Zwave hose irrigation valve?

Devices & Integrations

I’ve been looking but I am failing to find a ZigBee or Zwave irrigation valve /controller that attaches to the hose bib. I saw one by Woox.

However they are not readily available here in the US. I would be very appreciative if any (poke poke @JDRoberts) would know of something like this.

This is the only one I’ve heard of, but I don’t have personal experience and it’s no longer being manufactured so you’re stuck with eBay, etc:

The other option I can think of would be to combine a normally open or normally closed 120V solenoid valve with a smart outlet - something like this (reviews are not great, there should be plenty of similar products out there):
https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Solenoid-Normally-Colsed-2W-200-20/dp/B08YDGNDBF/

Combined with adapter fittings:

Then program your outlet to turn on when you want the water to flow.

Yeah, as @MarkTr mentioned, I think most people just use the smart plug method with a standard dumb electric valve. You can see several project reports on this approach. At the time, a lot of people were using a Wi-Fi plug because you get better range, but as long as you can find a Z wave/Zigbee One that works where you want to put it, you can use any model.

You can see some of the project reports on the following list:

This works fine, the only negative is that you are buying two devices instead of just one.

At our house, we use Orbit’s B-hyve, but the only integration would be through Alexa routines so it may not meet your needs. It’s Bluetooth to its own Wi-Fi bridge, then cloud cloud. We liked it because it’s battery powered and we didn’t have an outlet nearby. It’s been very reliable for us for about a year and a half.

Hi! I have that equipment, which works well with Tuya hub, but I could not add to Smartthings hub. :frowning: If anyone has a solution, I would be happy also.
